I love my handyman!

I just love how Nick likes to make things for around the house. Not only does it save money, but it has a special meaning. His first project was a night stand for me, I really just wanted a table, but he got all fancy on me and also put a shelf on it! His next project (still in the works) is a toy box for Miss K. We have gone through her toys a couple times now, and she still has tons. I've finally decided that the older kids get, the bigger the toys they have! When Nick asked me about making the toy box, all I said I wanted was a box with a lid, so she can't turn it upside down and dump all the toys out. (Which is what she does with the totes her toys are in now :) ) Once again, he amazes me with what he does... he is very much a perfectionist, and to him it has many flaws, but I don't see them! I only see the work, hours, an love he has put into it. This is the first toy box, and right now we are still letting it air out before we put it in her room. He found these fanagle dangle hinge thingies that won't let the lid slam down! He soon will be working on another toy box for our upstairs living room. I've also asked him to make some bookshelves for me for our downstairs living area. (I'm really excited about those!) I have all kinds of books and dust collector knick knacks that need a home! Here are a few pictures of the first toy box, and I will continue to post pictures as we go along with all our projects!
